UVElite1-Component Ceramic Fortified Waterborne UV Floor Finish

MADE IN SWEDEN

CERAMIC SILICACeramic Silica is one of the most durable, abundant minerals in the Earth’s crust. Our ceramic fortification process allow us to create better, stronger and more durable finishes. Arboritec finishes penetrate deeper into the floor and are chemically bonded to the surface, enhancing the adhesion, strength and scratch resistance.

UVElitePRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Arboritec™ UV Elite is a single-component, UV-curable, waterborne finish for wood and parquet floors. Designed for areas of heavy traffic. The durability is higher than most other conventional two-pack water borne PU finishes. UVElite is exceptionally durable to scratches, heel marks and ordinary household chemicals. The finish is fortified with ceram-ics thanks to our unique Small Particles Technology. Adding ceramic particles to product results 30% less petro- chemical raw materials used hence makes UV Elite up to 30% more environmentally friendly than competitive brand lacquers. UV Elite has passed very strict air quality tests and regulations and it makes UV Elite one of the most environmentally responsible finishes available.

TECHNICAL DATA

DIRECTIONS FOR USEThe surface has to be sanded to a professional standard, dry and free from contamination. Protect the floor from direct sunlight and keep off all underfloor heating from day before application till 24 hours after application. Final sanding of the floor should be done with sanding paper 120 grit belt or 100 grit screen. The tem-perature of the floor, UV Elite finish and air must be between 13°C (55°F) and 25°C (77°F). Relative humidity of the room should be between 40% and 60%. Higher humidity of room extends drying time of finish thus waiting time between layers. At high temperatures and low relative humidity add 2% Arboritec “Extender”. Shake the container before use for 30-60 seconds. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before applying. Do not dilute the finish. NOTE! Make sure solvent-based stains and sealers- if used to enhance colour of wood- are fully cured prior to over-coating with UV Elite.

APPLICATIONApplication of the finish should be carried out along the direction of parquet strips and wood. If possible, do not apply the finish cross the direction of daylight. Windows/doors must be closed to prevent air flow and ventilation should be shut down for the time of application. If possible prevent direct sunshine on the floor during coating. UVElite is suitable for application with a lightweight t-bar applicator, roller or brush. For best results apply one coat of Arboritec primer, let it dry. Sand the floor with a 120 grit screen to remove grain raise. Always test the product on a smaller area to ensure colour and adhesion. For best results on bare, unstained wood floor, always use UV Elite finish with Arboritec primers: First Coat or Vibrant, following label instructions. Apply the first coat of UV Elite 80-105g/m² and leave to dry for 1-3 hours. Apply a second coat and leave to dry for a further 1-3 hours or more depending on drying conditions. It is important that the surface relative humidity is under 8%, or the same as its original value, to guarantee optimal curing conditions.CURING WITH UV: Use a portable UV unit at a run speed of 6-10 meters per minute, with lamp width between 20 and 40 cm. Make sure you overlap to ensure that the whole surface is cured. The floor can be used immediately after curing. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the floor supplier or Arboritec.
